Memphis, Tenn.—Urging th'e
American people to give their
fullest support and coopera-
tion to National Cotton Week,
May 16-24, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt declares that the
cotton industry is confronted
with one of the most serious
situations in its history.
The President told Oscar
Johnston, president of the Na-
tional Cotton Council, that “it
is my sincere hope that the ob-
servance of National Cotton
Week will serve to call the at-
tention of the American peo-
ple to the importance of this
great agricultural commodity
in the economic life of our
country.”
Although domestic use of
cotton daring recent months
has been unparalleled, Mr.
Roosevelt said, “All indica-
tions point to a domestic car-
ryover at the end of the cur-
rent year equal to the all-time
high of 13,000,000 bales.” He
declared that this huge surplus
arises directly from the war-
time loss of America’s export
cotton markets.
Cotton and the Nation
“More than eleven million
people in the eighteen cotton
producing states are directly
dependent upon cotton for a
livelihood,” he continued,
"while an additional fourteen
million, scattered from the
Atlantic to the Pacific derive
at least a portion of their in-
come from cotton. Our entire
population is vitally affected
by the welfare of cotton.
“This situation makes it all
the more important that we
continue and redouble bur ef-
forts to increase consumption
here at home. For this reason,
National Cotton Week is an
event of particular signify
nating May 16-24 as National
Cotton Week in their states.
Mr. Johnston said that all
indications pointed to a rec-
ord-breaking observance of
Cotton Week this year. The
event is conducted on a na-
tional Cotton Council, repre-
senting raw cotton, and the
Cotton-Textile Institute, rep-
resenting cotton manufactur-
ers.

Queried on the results ob-
tained the first day of the
sale of defense bonds and sav-
ings stamps, Frank Scofield,
State Administrator for the
Defense Savings Staff of Tex-
as, said:
"Reports from all over the
State of Texas indicate that
people from every walk of life
are buying defense bonds and
savings stamps in large
volume. Many issuing agents
hove sold out of their present
supply of bonds and have had
to wire for an additional sup-
ply. Others have exhausted
their supply of application
blanks for the Series F and
Series G bonds.
"The public reception to
this offering on the part of our
Government for every indivi-
dual to have a part in onr all-
out defense effort has exceed-
ed the fondest hopes of this
office. Many organizations,
such as the Houston Chamber
of Commerce, the . Attorney
General’s Department of Tex-
as, the' Ta!x-Collector’s Office
of Travis County, and the
Land. Office, and of coarse, my
own organization, the Internal
Revenue Office, have reported
